Abstract

FIES (Student Financing Fund) is a public policy that enables the access of students to private higher education. It had its peak in the first half of the 2010s and, since 2015, it has experienced a process of supply reduction, due to the adoption of an economic policy of fiscal austerity. The focus of this research was to understand the influence of the shrinking
of FIES, starting in 2015, on the policy of monthly fees pricing, discounts and private financing for in-class higher education courses, maintained by private institutions as one of the strategies adopted to maintain the pace of attracting students, even
with the reduction of the FIES offer. This is a bibliographic and documental research, based on quantitative data, with results that showed a relationship between the weakening of the Program and strategies in order to continue attracting students.
